A good business comes with a unique idea and the importance of providing the best facilities creates the room for a grand market. While India is currently witnessing a boom in the restaurant and food delivery business, a one-man army got a unique plan to go one step ahead and become a visionary to embark on a new idea. It became the efficient service providers of the restaurants, to save them from the difficulties they face in their business. With the different outlook and approach to get a market from the F & B industry, today Mohd Shahnawaz Khan is the one-stop solution with his B2B service provider venture iMuvOn. iMuvOn is a mobile and web-based platform that enables restaurants and hotels to help with raw materials, trained employees and other technical services.
The Thinker who made a Difference
The CEO and Co-Founder of iMuvOn, Mohd Shahnawaz Khan is someone who has a profuse knowledge of food and beverage industry and has a number of restaurants which he is running with a flair for last seven years. While running those restaurants, the idea clicked him to initiate a new business venture to provide helpful solutions to the other restaurant and hotels. When he came up with the idea of Food-tech startup in 2015, he had to deal with some initial thwarting. It was not easy to be the pioneer of any venture and the startup idea was absolutely out of the track for him. However he rejoices the moment of getting his first customer even now, and says “I still cherish our initial few days when we reach out to restaurants with our product and when finally we got our first customer.” The issues iMuvOn faced were majorly getting right set of employees along with other issues like not getting timely repair servicing workforces, purchasing of goods at a reasonable price etc. However, despite all these odds, the brand has now emerged as a successful startup and is achieving newer heights of excellence.
The Divergence iMuvOn Creates
The earlier concept regarding food was whatever is ‘Healthy and Hygienic’ must be too pricey, and vice versa, is an obsolete thought now. But a few online Foodtech brands like Fasoos, FreshMenu, Yumlane etc. have completely changed that view. Thus, the services from a brand named iMuvOn have become too important. iMuvOn offers the best services and best products , to curve its path for future endeavor, along with keeping it up with the value factor.
But only providing a service cannot be counted as a good business. To be the best from the rest, the business should be more than just providing services and should be more customers centric. As a mobile and web-based platform, iMuvOn offers fresh and grocery products almost at a wholesale price to the hotels and restaurants. Along with that, it provides the facilities like AC repair/services, Gas range repair/services, Pest control, Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, including automating the restaurants through their digital menu and manage table, order and delivery from one place at unbeatable price. They also help to hire employees quickly from the pool of employees looking for jobs only in F&B industry through chat, call or video call.
iMuvOn focuses on these aspects and in the process it creates some level of personal relationship with the customers and checks periodically whether everything is going all right and if they need any help. Such honest approach and dedication has kept the brand going for three years now and creates the prospect of more glorious years ahead.
The Wisdom and Knowledge for the Newcomers
With a great endeavor comes great responsibilities and Shahnawaz is acquainted with the reality, as he has faced certain difficulties in his initial days. And being a market pro he encourages the interested entrepreneurs to be calm and keep patience, if they want to make it big in food and beverages’ industry. While the number of restaurants and hotels are increasing at a lightning speed the provision for the B2B services will enhance rapidly in the coming days. But success is not a fairy tale, one has to be a hard worker and need to gain the confidence and support of the customers to be the dark horse of the game. Shahnawaz believes that ‘Honesty is not the best policy but Honesty is the only policy’ and he suggests the newbies in the field to adapt the quality to survive in the long run.
The Next Big Move
Every entrepreneur dreams to become a big brand. iMuvOn is no exception in its vision and foresees to become a billion dollar establishment. But as quick success is a game of novice and iMuvOn is aware of the fact, and thus they don’t want to hurry for a speedy success; and on the contrary, they want to move slowly cementing the success in their march towards triumph. Currently, they are focusing to fortify in Delhi NCR and has the vision to expand in all other metro cities in India in the next one year.
